I'm interested by any information. What I hear of and read about it is: Traveler kit=3D M6 silver chrome covered with real leather (without structure), with a silver chrome 50/1,4 (with separate lens hood), a smal= l leather bag (same leather as the M6) and attache case (same leather) 1993/94 Number producted 300 ex ?? Price new (180.000 BF =3D 5.400 $ (1994) Leica international price guide 7th edition (1997) =3D = Leica M6 Traveller + 1,4/50 Summilux =3D R8 =3D 5.000$ / 3.000 GBP / 8.00= 0 DM One of the story I hear is that a Arab Prince ordered the chrome Summilux= es and then cancelled the order ??
